Thai Fried Chicken

3.25

at Soi

(Robinsons Place)

-Ermita, Manila-

with RK and JL

While I do generally have a positive impression of Soi (see most recently 5.039 Thai Kangkong), and no other Thai restaurants are in the neighborhood, this inexplicably is just the second time that I’ve eaten here, for dinner, when it counts, a couple quick lunches on the weekends not counting.

The Thai Fried Chicken was quite nice.  Crispy on the outside, juicy within.  Perfectly seasoned, with a hint of something aromatically Thai-ish — lemongrass?  Best fried chicken that I’ve had in awhile (see also 7.023 The Original Storm).

I should come here more often, even if only for lunch, during the week (the office is but an 8-min walk away).
